ABOUT ELEVEN:
Eleven is the breakout hero of Stranger Things, known for her psychic powers, mysterious past, and iconic 1980s fashion moments. From escaping Hawkins Lab to fighting creatures from the Upside Down, she’s a mix of quiet vulnerability and unstoppable strength. Her look is instantly recognizable whether it’s the hospital gown, pink dress, or her casual outfits from later seasons. With her short hair, nosebleeds, and fierce stare, Eleven makes for a powerful and nostalgic costume choice.
1. Light Blue Shirt – A simple, slightly oversized blue T-shirt forms the base of her casual Season 1 outfit.
2. Striped Pants – Pair with high-waisted striped or plaid pants for that retro 80s style. Tuck the shirt in for authenticity.
3. Fake Blood – Add a touch of stage blood under your nose to recreate Eleven’s signature psychic nosebleeds. It’s the small detail that makes the costume instantly pop.
4. Brown Belt – Cinch the look with a plain brown belt, keeping the tucked-in style neat and vintage.
5. White Sneakers – Finish the outfit with classic white sneakers (think Reeboks or similar retro-style trainers). They’re practical and perfect for running from Demogorgons.
6. Blonde Wig (Optional) – For her disguise look, you can add a short blonde wig to mimic when Eleven blends in outside the lab.
Oh, Eleven: the girl who can crush Coke cans with her mind and close gates to alternate dimensions before breakfast. This costume captures her mix of innocence and raw power, making it one of the most fun and instantly recognizable Stranger Things looks.
And the best part? It’s surprisingly easy to pull off. With just a few thrifted items and some fake blood, you can become the Hawkins legend herself.
For more Stranger Things cosplay inspiration, consider going as the rest of the Hawkins crew: Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Will for a group costume, or channel the chaos of Hopper, Joyce, or even the Demogorgon. The Upside Down is full of possibilities!
